Chapter 81, Chapter 87, Walnut Tree
"What is it if it's not a lemon?"

Qin Fengyi picked up a blue round fruit on the ground. There are many such fruits on the ground. After the typhoon and heavy rain, these fruits were buried deep in the sand, "This is a walnut!"

"Walnut??"

Most people have eaten walnuts, but those are sun-dried walnuts without peeling treatment. Walnuts grown on trees have a peel and a layer of pulp.

Unlike other fruits, walnuts have very little pulp and low water content, and their value lies in the kernel inside the seed.

There is more than one walnut tree here, but there are only two trees that actually grow walnuts, and the rest may be too young to bear fruit.

"However, this looks like a lemon?" Lin Qingxue took the green fruit and smelled it, "But the taste is really different from lime."

"I've never seen walnuts growing on trees. It's different from what I imagined." Mr. Han, a true urban kid, said he had never seen walnuts either.

The city is not as good as the countryside. Qin Fengyi's hometown is very poor. It only depends on the mountains. It takes less than a minute to go out and enter the mountains. There are many fruit trees in the plantations on the mountains, such as apples, peaches, walnuts, and red dates. When he was a child, he often Organize friends to steal other people's fruits.

I once had an impressive time with a little friend who was chased by a big wolf dog in the orchard and ran all over the garden, and finally fell into the thorn pile in a panic. At that time, he rolled several times in the thorn pile full of thorns. The big wolfdog felt pain when he saw it.

"Walnuts are like this." Qin Fengyi took a walnut and quickly cut it open with a saber, "There was a walnut tree in front of my grandfather's grave. I didn't know walnuts growing on trees before I was 10 years old. Nibbling, too raw and discolored, I picked up several and used them as balls to kick, and when the peel fell off to reveal the inner shell, I realized that this thing is a walnut.”

"I'm going! These are really walnuts!" Lin Qingxue took the green walnut Qin Fengyi handed over. The fruit was cut in half, revealing the yellow shell, "But this walnut is fading."

Lin Qingxue's fingers were stained with a yellow-green color, and the walnut peel can be said to be a kind of natural dye, which can be used to dye cloth.

"We can pick some walnuts back home, and then make some walnut powder for use. Sprinkle walnut powder when grilling, it should be more fragrant than sesame seeds." Compared with the civilized world, the seasoning in the shelter is not a little bit different, Lin Qingxue thought Yes, walnut powder is indeed a delicious seasoning.

"Not only that, you can squeeze some walnut oil!" Han Xuening looked at the scattered walnuts on the ground, and then at the ones on the tree. "With so many walnuts, we can definitely squeeze out a lot of vegetable oil."

"Oil extraction is quite good. I can use metal to make a simple oil filter." Qin Fengyi thought about this and conceived the operation of oil extraction. Now this condition cannot use the principle of compression to make an oil extraction machine, but he can make one A simple oil filter, simply blanching the walnut kernels and then crushing them to get some walnut oil.

Before picking walnuts, you have to open a few walnuts to see if they meet the requirements. During the growth of walnuts, the initial state of the nuts is liquid, and they will not become solid until they are ripe.

Qin Fengyi used a seedling knife to open two walnuts on one side. The two walnuts were of different sizes and fell from the trees after being damaged by the storm.

"Why is this walnut like this?" Lin Qingxue held a smaller walnut. After the shell was smashed open, there was a layer of yellow-white peel wrapped inside, which was filled with liquid like lychee, translucent, like glue, basically in the shape of Liquid semi-solid.

"That one is immature. In fact, as long as it is placed in the sun for a period of time, it can quickly mature and become the walnut we know." Qin Fengyi held another walnut that was smashed open. It is yellow and white tender skin, and the inside is white and tender pulp.

"Can we collect it?" Han Xuening has been collecting nearby vines since just now. The diameter of these vines is about 3 mm, and they are very tough. They can be bent at 60 degrees without breaking. The beautiful teacher is not very good at weaving, but Lin Qingxue is very good at it, girl The small woven baskets have a good shape, and you can use this as a basket to hold walnuts.

"It can be collected. There are too few walnuts on the ground. I'll go up the tree." Qin Fengyi looked at the walnuts on the two trees. There are about 400 densely packed walnuts. In fact, there is no need to light them all at once. You can collect the walnuts in the south first. , These long-term exposure to the sun, bet big, and most of the big walnuts have formed substantial nuts, not the kind that resembles gel.

Qin Fengyi quickly went up the tree, and Lin Qingxue was weaving rattan baskets under the tree. He came out too quickly today, and didn't bring a few schoolbags in the shelter, and the tools for loading walnuts could only be made fresh.

Han Xuening, Wangcai and Yayale inspected walnuts on the ground. Wangcai's efficiency in inspecting walnuts was not as good as Han Xuening's, but it was definitely far better than the clumsy big crocodile. Can't pick it up.

The reason why primates can be more dexterous than beasts is not by fangs and claws, but by flexible palms.

"Qin Fengyi, first check to see if there are any snakes in the tree!" Lin Qingxue had a psychological shadow on the poisonous snakes falling from the sky. In the dense jungle, there may be no snakes on the ground, but you can't guarantee that the tree trunks above your head and the There are no snakes on the leaves.

"Don't worry, I've seen it a long time ago, there are no snakes!" Qin Fengyi quickly collected walnuts. This time, he collected probably hundreds of walnuts, and the quantity has reached the standard.

Just as he was picking the last walnut, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

"Ah~~!"

At the same time, Lin Qingxue, who was picking walnuts under the tree, also let out a scream of pain. She clutched her neck, as if she had been bitten by something.

"Lin Qingxue, did you feel it too?" Qin Fengyi clutched his wrist, the stinging pain continued, his skin was burning like a fire, and his entire wrist was twitching unconsciously, as if it was swollen.

"My neck... hurts so much." Lin Qingxue was shot in the neck.

"It's not a snake, it's a caterpillar!" Han Xuening saw a huge caterpillar wriggling on the ground. This guy had colorful hair on his body, and it was really disgusting when he wriggled.

The next moment, the caterpillar was cut into two by Qin Fengyi. He looked at Lin Qingxue's neck with concern. There was a large cloud-like red bump on the white neck.

"It doesn't matter if you get swept up by caterpillars, I have a solution, don't be afraid, come with me first!" Qin Fengyi took Lin Qingxue's little hand, and came to a place with stagnant water, "There are many ways to remove caterpillar thorns , transparent glue is a way, you can also bake it with fire, apply the mud to the wound and wait until the mud dries, and remove the large mud, and it can also bring down the fine thorns."

"Well, it's cool and comfortable when you apply the slime." Lin Qingxue lowered her head, quietly enjoying Qin Fengyi's gentle massage.

"It's really impolite to interrupt you at this time, but I still want to say something, look ahead." Han Xuening pointed to the front of the jungle, where there was a building surrounded by vines, with a black and white sign on it, which read some english.

The architecture of modern human civilization!
